Many, many years ago I was in Greece without DH and had too many packages to
carry back (I would not have had one shipped) and I always regret not
throwing something else overboard just to be able to carry one/two of these
back with me. I looked later at home (in San Francisco) where they had a
huge Pier 1 store (I've not seen any other like it since), and I always
thought they were not the same as I'd seen.

About that time I watched "The Frugal Gourmet" and he seemed to always have
one. They were one of the 'in' kitchen things at the time.

Yes, they still are very pretty -- where are you going to keep it - on the
table or elsewhere. I would think they would constantly tip. Maybe not.

Have fun with your new purchase.
